[cut down version of something I've tried to post 3 times now; it just keeps disappearing somewhere ... ]
Essentially, if I boot of a CD with grub on, I get the menu OK, but trying to actually bot gives me 'error 25: disk read error'. Hitting 'c' for the command line and typing the commands in the grub.conf verbatim (below: root/kernel/initrd) followed by 'boot' works though.
Why might there be a difference?
